Tire truing and wheel balancing

[drperry]

How I see it.

The rotors and hubs should not have that much of a play in the balance.

1) The weight of them ,unless severly off, is minimal. They are usually balanced.

2) The mass in contrated closed to the center vs the longer travel the tire takes to make a revolution. This should not cause that much vibration.

Thoughts?

#1 - I agree the effect is probably minimal

#2 - Yes, the mass is closer to the center, but the correction for that mass isn't. The correction, in the form of wheel weights, is being done on the wheel rim, which would tend to "amplify" the imbalance when the tires are rotated to different positions.

I don't understand the question...or the problem...

I always have mine balanced again, anytime I rotate them....

If they are rebalanced... it don't make any difference what corner that are on.

Some of us just rotate them in our garage

Heres a link to an article about truing and balancing tires on the vehicle,It actually says you CAN'T rotate tires once they are trued and balanced on the vehicle,they even have to put back on the same studs if ever removed......http://www.fourwheeler.com/techarti...ruck_tire_truing_balancing_shaving/index.html

I'll stick with having them balanced when I have them installed and leaving it at that.

Yeah same here,I couldn't stand to watch all that rubber being shaved off of my $200 a-piece Wrangler's!
Besides,I have a great tire guy who balances my tires perfect everytime with no vibration issues at all

I can see it being a useful tool if you are having vibration issues. Luckily I haven't.

Same here,I've had 9 trucks and 2 cars over 21 years and never had any issues,Plus like I said I have a great tire guy,I've been going to him the entire time I've had all my vehicles (Gee,I hope he don't retire 'til I quit driving )
